To all whom it may concern:

lle it known that l Gnomiz H. MMS, n eitizen of the Unite: States, residin at, lllilwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and L tate of Wisconsin. hsne invented new and useful Improvements in Receptacles, of which the fol owing is u speciticnt-iol M v invention relates to improvements in that einen of receptacles, the wulls of which are fonned of metal und enamel, the metal being covered upon both its exterior und interior surfaces with enamel. I have found by experieneo that the Contiguous parte of snel: a vessel cannot he seeuretl together in the. ordinar way by bolts und flanges, ow"- ing to the fnct thnt. tho enamel or other fragile mnterinl is likely to ehi` off or heeome broken, und I have there. ore devised means for securing separate )arts of such receptacle together so as to orm u water tight joint hy using either solcie'r. tin, rubber or otllet` similur'Substance, which` when heated. Hows into nml hermetieully closes nll jointel as nmx-oeeni' between the contiguous surfaces of such l'eee tnt-le. whereby the (longer of chipping or nealtiug the emunel or other fx'ugi e sui-foce `is avoided.

M v invention i# further explained by reierenee to the accompanying drawings, whichi Fgnie 1 is n easing. forming parte et the weeptaeie. showing my improved nttnvh-A nient connected therewith. the lower portion.

o the ens-ing being in vertical Section, 'clrawn on line 1 -1 of Fig. 2. l

Fig. 2 is n horizont-nl section of the easing, drawn on line 2--2 of Fig. 1*, showing u4 plan view of the nttnehing menus.

Referrin to 'Figi l of-the neeompuuying drawing. 5 lu a easing which is closed at tho top by themomher 2, nntlnt its lowerenil by the buse pluto 8. The easing E comprises the eentrnl metnilic member 4. which member is provided with the ennuie] surfaces fi, it.

It will he understood that any vinvention is equally adopted for necnupi4 the separate parts of any casini: tii'ether. whereby unl efieient seal is producer `The `casting '5 is provideclnt ita bottom` with an annular flange Lwhieh' Harige ie provided with an 4enujneleti eout'ing. My securing; means comprises n clamping ring 8 of an intel-unl diameter `olinhtliv .greater than the peripheral diameter of thelilnnge, and having an inturnefl flange l) at its upper edge, which is of an internal diameter slightly greater than the external diameter of the caslngwherebri" the ring is adapted to fit over the easing with its tlange 9 lapping the flange of the casing. The ri is provided with a serien of vertical spazig clamping. bolt holes 10 und bolts l0'. the latter .uss'einbled n quantit of molten solder, t-in,

rubber or other simi ai' nnlnetun 7', u (lnpted to fiow when heated, is poured into the joints formed between the contiguous ports, whereby n seul' or water tight joint is formed without; danger of chipping or breakin the ennuiel from the supporting metal. repurato'ry to pouring the molten solution by which such water tight joint is formed, I preferably place u mold within the casing 5'. The buse pluto 3 is "then tem orar-ily attached. The molten solution is t en poured und nil'oweti to cool. whereby it is ,given the required slmpe shown, in Fig. 1. The base nieto 3 isthentemporurily `removed for the purpose of removing the mold. After said mold has been removeclthe tiene pluto 8 is again attached und bolted in pince, as shown in Fig-1. Such mold is not shown because itis -rennovcwl and forms: no part of my present invention; t

Hnvin v Vthun deserilwil my invention what I o nim ne new nml desire to secure b v l'lotturs Patent, isz-- l. The combination with a casing formed of metal, eoutetl with enamel, of u dumping ring; surmuniiing the open end of uuid eine ing und n Solution ntlnptetl when heated to ow between said parts and form o water tight joint between Suid onsin'g and ring.

2. .The combination of umetnl casing having-nn out-turned yperphernl tinnge et its open end, :uni-un external and internal *woon tho joints nl' snid casing und clamping ring. whereby n waiter tight joint is formed lwlwuvli mild viisilig nml clnlllpinl,r ring.

3. Thu combinniion with :i casing formed of vninnelvd metal. lniving nn out-turned pei'iplivi'nl flange nt its open end, n clumpingl invnilim surrounding Suid open und, amd prnviLled with nn internal flange located above und lapping the casing ilimge, and solder adapted to adhere lo and forni n tight joint between said casing und clumping ring.

l. 'llio combination with n casing formed of ennnwlvxl niehil lmving un onbturned peripheral llnngc nt onuA und, n clamping inember surrounding .said lower end und provided with un inlm'nnl flange located above und lnppin the cnsing flange solder adapt` ed when co l to adhere to uml forni n water tight joint between said ring und casing, a baise plate secured to the lower side of said ring, a [mL-.king located between Suid buse plate and ring, und means for securing Said buse plate to said ring beneath said packing.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
